D could also require due diligence, especially with exchange houses involved.

Wait, why would a wealthy individual from a high-risk country want to open an account? Sounds suspicious!

A local wealthy individual? Seems pretty low-risk to me.

I think B should also raise some flags. Beneficial owners can be tricky!

I recall that setting up an exchange house, as in option D, definitely raises flags, but I’m not sure if it’s the most critical situation compared to the others.

I think we practiced a similar question where the focus was on the source of funds, which makes me lean towards option C as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like beneficial owners, like in option B, also trigger some due diligence requirements.

I remember studying that high-risk countries often require enhanced due diligence, so I think option C might be the right answer.

Based on the AML best practices, I'd say Option C is the correct answer. A high-risk customer opening a private bank account would trigger the need for thorough due diligence.

Option C stands out to me as the most likely answer - a wealthy individual from a high-risk country opening a private bank account would definitely require enhanced due diligence.

I'm a bit confused here. Would setting up a bastion host in sub-a to connect to sub-b instances work instead? That might be a simpler solution.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll need to calculate the present value of the $125,000 payment for each of the six employees, using the 10% discount rate and the 4-year time frame. Then I'll add up the individual present values to get the total.
